Happy Mother’s Day Active Rain

There is no clear data of when, where, and how Mother’s Day originated. Some historians claim Mother’s Day originated during Greek spring festivals for the mother of deities, Rhea. Romans celebrated their Great Mother of Gods, Cybele. Later, for a period of time people celebrated Mother’s Day the fourth Sunday in Lent to honor Mary, mother of Jesus Christ.

About 150 years ago Anna Jarvis, an Appalachian woman, organized "Mother's Work Day" to raise awareness for mothers working in very bad health conditions in United States. In President 1914 Woodrow Wilson signed into law Mother's Day a national holiday.
